On Sunday, Cubans flocked to the streets of the island nation to protest, chanting “freedom”, which means freedom. The Cuban people chanted that they wanted freedom from the oppressive government, and Trump agreed with their plight.
“In the struggle of the Cuban people for freedom, I stand with them 100%. The government must let them speak and be free! Joe Biden must stand up against the communist regime, otherwise-history will remember. The Cuban people should Get freedom and human rights! They are not afraid!” Trump said.
Trump’s tough stance on Cuba includes ending Obama’s policy, which allows Cuban baseball players the opportunity to play professional football in the United States without having to defect from Cuba.
The deal between Obama and Castro is an effort by the Obama administration to open the door to trade between the two countries and to repair the relationship between the United States and Cuba.
According to the agreement, Major League Baseball (Major League Baseball) The team pays the Cuban Baseball Federation (CBF) fees for each player signed by each MLB team. However, the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), which is part of the Treasury Department, stated that the agreement violated US trade laws. The office wrote to Major League Baseball, stating that the Cuban Federation is actually part of the Cuban government.
The letter said: “The payment to the Cuban Baseball Federation is unauthorized…because the payment to the Cuban Baseball Federation is the payment to the Cuban government.”
The front desk of Major League Baseball responded to a letter claiming that the current deal is the best way for young athletes to avoid human trafficking.
Major League Baseball said: “The goal is to end the dangerous trafficking of Cuban baseball players who wish to play professional baseball in the United States.”
Florida Senator Marco Rubio said that the payment of Major League Baseball to Cuba is more like a “ransom” and the island nation hopes to “legalize human trafficking.”
“Because the #Cuba regime does not allow them to travel freely, the only way for Cuban baseball players to enter @MLB is to escape. The regime has reached an agreement with baseball to allow players to leave, but only if MLB pays them a ransom. Essentially, they want population Legalize trafficking.”
There are very few known protests in Cuba today. In South Florida, demonstrations continued on Monday.
Trump said in the statement: “Cuba and Miami are erupting in large-scale demonstrations to protest against the Communist Cuban government (although today there are zero protesters in Cuba-you know what this means!)”.
